What Experts Say

Paracetamol is one of the most widely used and best studied pain and fever medicines, suitable for most people including children when dosed correctly.

It works in the brain to reduce pain signals and reset the body's temperature control, bringing down fever and easing everyday aches.

The main safety point is not to exceed the maximum daily dose, since taking too much, especially alongside other paracetamol containing cold and flu products, can seriously harm the liver. Always check other medicines for hidden paracetamol before taking an extra dose.
